Eliot POV.
I wanted to show Ashlynn the whole world, I wanted to show her the city where I grew up, mostly bad memories here and there, in that alley I got kicked and beaten for the first time ever.
That other shop, it’s one that I stole an apple from when I was really hungry, this whole city has stood witness to me being broke and homeless, but there’s also the other side of me falling in love with Aspen, the place where we shared our tenth kiss, our first kiss was in private.
“You kids!” a woman yelled at us after we scared the pigeons yet again, but what else do you expect from two littles? It’s what I used to do before I found Aspen too, I know I show off as a bad mafia guy, I was a gangster since I was thirteen I think, but I was always a little, and this side of me demanded to come out and have fun, I can’t keep on denying it.
“Run,” I tell Ashlynn never letting go of her hand, no matter how fun this is, I can’t let her go, there are some bad people around these streets, I was one of those before.
We were giggling so loudly when we finished our run, we’re back to the busier part of the city, I held Ashlynn closer to me, making sure she was safe, I’m getting hungry and I’m sure she is too, we’ve been running and walking for so long, maybe we can drop off and annoy someone special.
“How about lunch?” I ask her.
“Yes, sure, I can eat,” she says with a smile.
“We can drop over someone and annoy them,” I say with an evil smile, she knew exactly who we want to annoy.
“Would he be okay with that?” she asks me, he’s always okay with me dropping over his work, and having Ashlynn with me won’t be a problem, but just to be on the safer side, I sent him a message over the phone.
“Dear, daddy, we are on the streets, we are lonely, lost and hungry, come save us before the pirates find us,” I send the message to him with an evil giggle, I just love messing with him too much.
“Meet me in the club, you know how to get there,” he messages me back.
“Come on let ‘s go,” I say to Ashlynn holding her hand and starting the walk toward Aspen’s club, I walked right in, everyone knew me around here, I don’t like when they call me bad names behind my back, but I could hear them all. But I always ignored them, I’m a strong, independent wolf, why would I be mad at the people who work here for talking badly about me, people would always talk.
“He got a new bitch?” I heard one of the guys say but I ignored him.
“The boss finally left him?” another one asks, but I only rolled my eyes at them this time, they couldn’t be any farther away from the truth.
“The new girl is hot, you saw her legs?” the rude comment continued, I was really tempted to go and beat their bums, or maybe just shift to my wolf form and bite their head off, but that isn’t the best option to take my revenge, I’m much better in revenge.
I turned back to them with the fakest smile I could master, holding Ashlynn’s hand, I knew Aspen was close by, he knows I’m coming over, he should be close.
“Ashlynn here wants coffee,” I say to the guys, seeing them look at me with a glare.
“So?” one of them asks me, which made my smile go even wider.
“Unless if you want to go up to the boss and say you denied his princess her coffee, I’d say you better get going,” I say with an evil smile, hoping Ashlynn would play along with me.
“My coffee. Now!” she orders them in her dominant voice, making them obey her right away running out of the door to go get her some coffee.
“I want it fat-free, dairy-free, sweet but without any sugar, and a strong Columbian mix, and fats before I tell him to cut your heads off!” she says in a snobby voice using the same tone, I had to hold my laugh back, she played the part so well, she must have heard them too.
“High five,” I say after the guys have run out through the door, raising a hand up.
We ignored the whole club and kept walking up the stairs until we got up to their office, I opened the door and walked in pushing the giggling princess in first.
“Hey daddy,” she says and goes for a kiss on the lips.
“Looking beautiful princess,” he says complimenting her, she did look beautiful.
“What are you giggling at?” he asks her, I didn’t have time to shake my head no and tell her not to tell him anything, but it was too late.
“Some of the bad guys downstairs called me a bitch,” she says with a big pout, if it was me, I would have received a slap to my bum for saying that word for no reason.
“And what happened after that?” he asks her, not looking up at me, which was good, keep me out of this.
“Me and Eli,” she says, there goes me staying out of this whole thing.
“Yes? You and Eliot?” he says knowing that the brat in me would have come out and said something back.
“We sent them on a hunt to get me coffee,” she says with a giggle, he didn’t look mad, maybe my bum is safe so far.
“Why coffee?” he asks her?
“Because me you princess, and me want Columbian coffee,” she says with a giggle.
“Why Columbian?” he asks her.
“I heard it in a movie once,” she says with a shrug, I expected him to get mad, he’d get mad at me usually.
“Smart girl, did you two have fun out today?” he asks us, now I could breathe in relief, that princess can get us out of any trouble, which is really good to know.
“We did, I showed her the whole city,” I assured him, I showed her our side of the city, I don’t go out of our territory, maybe it’s a wolf thing.
“He showed you his game with the pigeons?” he asks her, it’s a classic, I had to show it to my mate.
“Mhm,” she says with a big smile, the one that made everyone’s heart melt and keeps my bum safe.
